ADD / Anger issues?

Hello group...
My fiance recently was diagnosed with ADD, and as he's reading these books and telling me all about it I pretty much have accepted that I probably have it too...I've got the piles, the lack of concentration, the lists, the high iq, the creativity, the distractedness and more recently my 'bridezilla' side is appearing. I'm looking at situations and seeing the worst possible outcome. I'm scared, I'm embarrassed to be myself, and I get angry too fast. At our engagement party, I got angry (jealous) and ended up punching a brick wall (have never hit ANYTHING before in my life). Now, within the last two hours I got angry again, different issue, and I freaking punched a picture (yes, glass cover) on the wall! I feel like I am losing my mind, and I'm glad that I'm seeing a psychologist so I can talk to him about it. I am WAY too good at keeping my cool, which I do because I am terrified of rejection, and it makes it so I joke about the things that I'm most scared of, and people think I'm just fine. I can function well in regular society, but the combination of starting a new position at work, planning a wedding, raising my 2yo, and just trying to get a handle on life is putting me over the edge... Is this related to ADD too? This lack of control when angry? I feel like some part of me is trying to sabatoge myself which is even crazier...I have Multiple Sclerosis (almost no one I know knows this except for close friends) and when I get upset about that, I end up venting on those days about the 'involuntary suicide' of what my immune system is doing to me. Anyway...I'm gainfully employed, happy most of the time, but I feel like I am absolutely going insane. :-( Posted on 07/15/08, 07:07 pm |

I feel like I'm going insane every day. Lately it's been realy bad. Anger is one of many ADHD/ADD symptoms. My anger comes from being too overwhelmed, too stimulated and not being able to control my mind, energy and whats going on around me. If your woundering if you have ADD You need to get tested. God bless!!

That would make sense...I'm in the middle of raising a toddler, starting a new position at work, planning my wedding, & watching my house get renovated by my fiance!
Over stimulation and stress is definitely a major issue...

I used to have a lot of rage--since I've quit drinking, my anger is so much more in control. However, I really need to watch that when I'm under a lot of stress. I find myself thinking the worst, too. I need to really reign in my thoughts and turn to God for help. Music helps, as long as it's not angry or negative music--that really affects me.

PeaceHopeLove Nailed it in the head I think.I have been diagnosed with ADHD and I take 70mg a day and when I become overwhelmed I get angry and irriatated. Pissed off is a good word for it. I break alot of things! You might want to tell your doctor about the jealousy part.

Now it's even more interesting...I found out I'm pregnant! So now I am:
-Getting married in 2 weeks -Watching our house get renovated, staying in my apt til it's ready -Working full time -Raising my Toddler -Pregnant!!! Pregnant!!! I'm really happy about this though...brings a kind of stabilizing force, like everything I do affects of course the baby, and that makes me think about how what I do affects everyone around me. So yeah, feeling good. :-) Now the hard part is not telling anyone at work/family/friends that I'm pregnant until after the honeymoon!!

i really feel for you guy/gals, ive had ADHD & Aspergers since childhood and due to aggression and behavioural issues i have spent a good 9 yrs in prison due to explosions of temper and aggression, i finally got diagnosed at the age of 36, i now take ritalin and the odd 30/40 coffees a day to slow me down but cognitive behavioural therapy Truly helps although having these disorders since young has made it spiral out of control over the years, i was fobbed off by doctors who said ADHD & Aspergers did not exist to which led to more aggression and violence towards the doctors :o( but eventually the message got through and i was referred to a specialist, imagine spending 9 of 36 yrs in jail due to having a disorder that no one understood or cared about, now i have a card to state i have these disorders but the NHS does little to help ppl like us, my answer has always been violence, if you scare em enough theyll do anything but why should ppl have to freak out just to prove they have a problem ? ive been thru my share of rough times, slashed up, sewn my wrists back together with needle & cotton, beat ppl so bad they almost died, freaked out at my sisters wedding,at family, partners, friends, SO MANY THINGS can destroy a persons life but the help just isnt available to those who have had it all thier life, the NHS need to do more to help ppl with disorders, without help you wouldnt believe what can happen to ppl with disorders
